Arkup 50: A Solar-Powered Floating Villa for Off-Grid Living in the Caribbean
Meet the Arkup 50—a sleek, solar-powered livable yacht built for off-grid luxury in shallow Caribbean waters. It’s sustainable, self-stabilizing, and fully electric.
The term livable yacht takes on an entirely new meaning with the latest vessel from ARKUP LLC, the Miami-based pioneer of sustainable, luxury living on the water. Making waves at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show last fall, the Arkup 50 is the latest addition to the brand’s Livable Yacht Series—following the groundbreaking Arkup 75, a flagship vessel featured by Netflix, National Geographic, The New York Times, and Architectural Digest.
Inspired by the ARKUP 75, the Arkup 50 delivers the same signature technologies in a smaller, more versatile package designed to serve both recreational and commercial use. Think of it as a zero-emission floating villa—with electric propulsion, Starlink connectivity, solar power, and a jack-up anchoring system—ideal for off-grid living in even the shallowest waters.
“The ARKUP 50 is a perfect fit for the Caribbean,” says Jared Pearlman, ARKUP’s business development manager. “It has a 3-foot draft, so it’s awesome for the shallow island waters. We have some customers in the Caribbean already, and while deliveries are still pending, we’ll begin delivering next year.”
